A lot of projects use Git. I've already done an experimental conversion
of inkscape-web to git (it had a few issues that had to be fixed
manually, see but not a lot)

There's a lot of support for Git, but I do have reservations about
Github. It's a lot more like a cult than a platform and it's very much a
monopoly at this point and I remember Bitkeeper. At least the repository
is movable and they have an api for exporting issues and a wiki.

It's would enforce using a more code-review style model, no matter how
many people we make a part of an Inkscape organisation.

Although on the positive side, it'll probably increase participation.
Something the project could do with having. We're currently experiencing
40TB of downloads a month and our software is used by millions of
people, but translating that into developers is meeting more resistance.
